[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7989957, member: 5142"] @DEFCON 1 is right. He's not even talking about Forgotten Realms in full, but just Faerûn, which is huge. Khorvaire is comparatively small. There are about 17 nations and territories in total: Aundair, Thrane, Breland, Karrnath, Cyre/Mournland, Zilargo, the Eldeen Reaches, Demon Wastes, Shadow Marches, Droaam, Darguun, the Talenta Plains, Valenar, Q'Barra, the Mror Holds, the Lhazaar Principalities, and maybe include the Aerenal subcontinent for good measure. Compare that to the Forgotten Realms even just inside of Faerûn: the Sword Coast (treating this as a blob), Moonshae Isles, Silver Marches, Amn, Tethyr, Calimshan, Lantan, Dalelands, Dragon Coast, Cormyr, Sembia, Aglarond, Chult, Thindol, Samarach, Tashalar, Halruaa, Dambrath, Luiren, the Shining Lands, the Border Kingdoms, the Shaar, Ice Wind Dales, Thay, Rashemen, Thesk, Unther, Tymanther, Mulhorand, and I am no where close to done, and we already have 27 or so. Faerûn is HUGE. I would also point out that while past FR campaign setting books may have been done in 320 pages, that's 320 pages of mostly small print text with little art.
